Teen Arrested For Using 57 Twitter Accounts To Recruit For ISIS From His Parents' House

A 19-year-old US citizen was arrested in Pennsylvania today for using the internet to recruit for ISIS. From within his parents' house, Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz created a stockpile of weapons and spent his days chatting about buying women as slaves and killing US soliders, using Twitter handles like @MuslimBruh0.

According to the indictment, Aziz used 57 Twitter accounts to spread ISIS propaganda and recruit new members.

It appears that Twitter routinely suspends AZIZ's accounts due to the radical nature of his postings, which violate Twitter's policies. AZIZ then responds by creating backup accounts or opening a new Twitter account with slightly different variations of the common user names that he uses.

Police discovered a stash of weapons in a "go bag" Aziz's closet, including five loaded M4-style high-capacity magazines and a kitchen knife.
